Sigma mobile X-treme PQ27 8 GB / 1 GB

The brainchild of the Ukrainian electronics manufacturer is tailored for active owners — it is not afraid of falls, and is also protected from dust and moisture according to the IP68 standard.

Assembly

The body of the smartphone is made of plastic with metal inserts on the sides. During operation, it may play or creak. The back is stylized "under the skin". Unlike other protected models, the rear panel is removable — under it you can find two slots for SIM-cards and one slot for microSD memory cards up to 32 GB. Built-in storage has a capacity of 8 GB, of which 4.5 GB is available to the user.

Keys

When looking at a smartphone, the first thing that attracts attention is the atypical location of the shutdown key, which was placed under the screen between the mechanical keys for accepting and rejecting a call. There are a couple of interesting things on the left side of the device — this is the SOS button and a connector for connecting the phone to the docking station.

"Filling"

Hardware cannot boast of high performance — a 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor and 1 GB of RAM receive modest scores in synthetic tests (15500 in AnTuTu and 279 in GeekBench 3). Therefore, heavy games and resource-intensive applications will run with an effort. The Android 5.1 operating system is presented almost naked and the phone's menu boasts a high level of responsiveness.

Display

The screen of the smartphone has a diagonal of 4.66 "and HD resolution (1280x720 pixels). The IPS-matrix provides the correct colour reproduction and wide viewing angles. When viewed from angles, the picture only slightly loses its brightness. We did not forget about the cameras, but you should not expect a miracle from them — both the front and rear modules are rather mediocre (2 and 8 MP, respectively).

Protected

Undemanding hardware allows you to hold out on a single battery charge for 2-3 days. The smartphone is designed for tourists, adventurers and those who need a secure device on duty.
